Naruto: Naruto Hosted by the System

"Wind Release·Dayu Rasengan!"

A bad feeling rose in Mabuyi's heart, but before she could react, she felt a strong push on her back.

Naruto actually propelled this huge ship using ninjutsu!

Sorry, having a lot of chakra is just amazing.

In the blink of an eye, everyone had arrived at their destination, but many people were still dizzy and felt nauseous.

Mabuyi was slightly better, but as she subconsciously looked up, she was unable to speak.

Because the giant tortoise was really right in front of us!

"How did you know the location of the giant tortoise? Our ninjas have never sensed chakra from the giant tortoise before." Mabui was very puzzled.

“It’s natural energy,” Naruto said casually.

The giant tortoise does not have chakra, but that does not mean that it has no special energy. In fact, quite the opposite, the giant tortoise has a lot of natural energy.

Naruto guessed that this giant tortoise must have existed a thousand years ago, before chakra even existed, just like the Great Toad Sage.

That's why it doesn't have chakra but has natural energy.

Because of his Sage Mode, Naruto was very familiar with natural energy, and Kagura's Mind's Eye had a wide range of perception, so finding the giant turtle was indeed not difficult.

Upon arriving on the island, the first thing that catches the eye is the vast forest, which is also home to many large and exotic animals.

Led by the Cloud Village ninja, Naruto quickly arrived at the location of the True Waterfall.

The real waterfall doesn't look very big, and there's a hidden world inside where, it's said, the Jinchuriki can directly communicate with the Tailed Beasts.

Of course, Naruto's main purpose in coming here was the Real Waterfall.

After speaking to the Cloud Village ninjas, Naruto sat cross-legged on the stone platform in front of the True Waterfall and closed his eyes.

After a while, even though Naruto didn't open his eyes, he could vaguely see the real waterfall again, and he could no longer sense Kurama and the system.

Then, a "Naruto" appeared in front of him.

Naruto looked at his other self. From the outside, they looked exactly the same, except that Naruto's eyes were blue, while his other self's were red.

"It seems you are another version of me."

"However, since the real waterfall allows people to confront their true selves, it must mean that you and I are definitely different."

"Or rather, you represent the dark side of my heart?"

Naruto slowly revealed his suspicions.

The other Naruto sneered after hearing this: "It seems that after living with the system for so long, you've learned a bit of its analytical abilities."

Naruto nodded knowingly, confirming some things.

It seems that this is truly a reflection of one's own heart, and not an illusion. Otherwise, no one would know about the system, or at least not the name "system".

Naruto with red eyes seemed to be composed of various dark emotions such as hatred and anger. He immediately said in an extreme way, "Why don't you just wipe out the other four countries?"

"You could have easily done this with your abilities."

"Besides, didn't you want to become a great hero who saves the world? Didn't you want to bring peace to the ninja world?"

"Then why don't you just kill everyone and there will be no more fighting!"

Naruto, though unaffected by these words, was still somewhat moved.

Because he did have such thoughts, otherwise his dark side wouldn't have said that.

"That kind of peace is meaningless."

"The reason I abhor war is because I have seen a lot of misfortune, including many that have happened to me myself."

"But the reason I yearn for peace is because I have met many people who have brought me good fortune."

"Mom and Dad, Kurama, Kakashi-sensei, the Perverted Sage, Iruka-sensei, Hinata, Karin... and the System!"

"Even if it's just for them, I hope to bring peace to the ninja world."

Upon hearing this, a mocking smile appeared on Naruto's face.

"So you mean you want to deny past misfortunes because of your current good fortune?"

"Think about the Third Hokage. That old man promised your father he would take good care of you, but what did he actually do? I don't need to give any examples; just compare how you are treated with his grandson and you'll know."

Naruto shook his head.

"I do not deny the mistakes my grandfather made. He was indeed more trouble than he was worth and was not a qualified Hokage."

"But I've already answered questions like that before—"

"I will carry all the good and bad fortune of the past and stride towards the future!"

Naruto clenched his right fist and placed it on his heart, his face showing no sign of confusion.

Yes, he already had the answer to this question.

Red-eyed Naruto gritted his teeth and glared at Naruto.

"Then tell me, how can we bring peace to the ninja world?"

Naruto calmly looked at his other self and said quite decisively, "I don't know."

"This kind of question might not have a standard answer even if you search the whole world."

"Even if we find an answer now and achieve temporary peace, the answer may no longer be applicable due to certain changes in the future."

Red-eyed Naruto sneered, "To put it bluntly, your dream is completely meaningless."

"Even when you filled out the mission statement, things like peace, saving the world, and bringing more luck to those around you, you didn't really think that much about it. You just thought being a hero sounded cool!"

Naruto nodded, not denying the existence of the red-eyed Naruto: "I was young back then, and I really didn't understand these things."

Upon hearing this, Naruto with red eyes became even more arrogant: "That's why I said your dreams are meaningless!"

"Can't the management target be changed at any time? Let's just change it now. I feel embarrassed whenever I see those childish fantasies from before!"

"No." This time, Naruto rejected another version of himself.

"Human dreams never end!"

Naruto's eyes grew even more determined.

"So what if it's childish? As long as I actually did it, it's not childish!"

"To become Hokage, to gain everyone's recognition, to become a great hero who saves the world, to be with the person I love, and to have a family."

"I will never give up on these dreams, and I will definitely achieve them!"

Red-eyed Naruto's expression turned somewhat grim, and he gritted his teeth.

"To put it bluntly, you're just assuming your dream will come true because you're doing relatively well right now."

"So what if it can't be achieved?" Naruto said calmly.

"I'm already on the road, and even if this road collapses one day, I will have no regrets."

At this point, the other Naruto was close to going mad, roaring angrily.

"If that's really what you think, then why does your heart have a dark side? Why am I here?"

Naruto stood up and slowly walked towards his other self.

"Your appearance is proof that I have not denied the misfortunes of the past."

Naruto finally reached his other self, but he didn't stop. He continued walking forward, passing through his other self.

At the same time, the other Naruto disappeared, as if it had merged into Naruto's body.

Naruto opened his eyes again and sensed Kurama and the system within him, knowing that he had returned to the real world.

"How are you, Naruto? You haven't moved since you sat down, and you haven't even responded to the system." Kurama asked hurriedly when he saw Naruto wake up.

"Nothing, I just saw another version of myself... Wait, what happened to the system?"

"I don't know, just like your reaction just now."

The human and the fox stared at each other, realizing something, and exclaimed in unison, "The system was also affected by the Real Waterfall??"

[That's right.] Just then, the system restored the connection.

"Huh? System, you have a dark side too?" Naruto asked, somewhat taken aback.

[I am a system, and I don't have any emotions, but I did sense another version of myself just now.]

We knew each other inside and out, and both had extremely strong analytical skills, so we quickly understood everything and reached a consensus.

The only difference between myself and the other me is our different thinking patterns, which complement each other perfectly.

[Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity, we jointly began to study the essential nature of the soul's existence.]

Upon hearing this, Naruto couldn't hold back any longer: "Shouldn't we be having a debate with another version of ourselves, and gradually accepting our darker side in the process?"

"What's with you guys suddenly collaborating and doing research like this?!"

Perhaps it's because I have no emotions.

Looking at the two of them, Nine-Tailed Fox couldn't help but feel a little depressed: Why am I the only one who wasn't affected by the Real Waterfall? Am I being isolated?

However, that's not what I wanted to talk about.

What I'm trying to say is that, through this opportunity, my research on the soul has reached a new level.

Upon hearing this, Naruto realized what the system meant, and his pupils widened slightly.

"you mean......"

To put it simply, we can now take action against Death.

Chapter 83 The Corpse Demon Seal is Released! (3000 words, please subscribe!)

It means we can target the Grim Reaper, which in other words means we can safely undo the Reaper Death Seal.

Upon learning this news, Naruto rushed to Konoha without stopping, paying little attention to the Land of Lightning's attempts to persuade him to stay.

If you travel by boat and horse-drawn carriage, changing modes of transportation multiple times, it will take about half a month.

If Naruto were to use his Wind Release: Flight Technique at full power, he could probably arrive in half a day.
